PS Plus Makes James Bond’s New Game Free for Just One Hour

PS Plus has made the new James Bond game, 007 First Light, available for a one-hour free trial. IO Interactive announced the offer on X, and while they didn't specify the exact hour, the demo likely begins with the cold-open action sequence that introduces players to Bond's training. This tutorial stands out from most game tutorials as it unfolds in the game's universe, letting players learn alongside Bond through a series of set pieces.

The sequence features car races, fistfights, and infiltration missions that demonstrate Bond's skills and his struggle to prove himself in a program that doubts his worth. 007 First Light's sales have been impressive, with the game selling 4 million copies by August alone, suggesting a sequel might be in the works. However, Amazon Game Studios boss Jeff Gattis has been unclear about potential future Bond games, initially stating they wouldn't be developed by IO Interactive, but later clarifying that Amazon Games would likely work with IO again.

IO Interactive has shown continued support for First Light, recently releasing a free DLC that adds a new mission, New Game Plus, time trials, and more.
